The trouble between Governor Hill, of New York, and the State Senate, over the appointment, will likely lead to the impeachment of Lieutenant. Governor Jones. Governor Hill sent a message to the Senate last Friday, which Jones insisted on reading, after being ruled out of order, a motion to adjourn. This is denounced as revolutionary.

A Hard Profession.

Old DIR. johnson once said address,
ing a class of medical students, that
the study of medicine was a most ar
duous undertaking that the most
comprehensive mind and the most
industrious student could scarcely do
more than explore the portals to
medical knowledge during the brief
time allotted to study before COM
mencing practice, but that through
out his whole life the responsibilities
of his profession should rest upon
him like a night mare.
He should explore every avenue of
natural knowledge, must become fla
miliar with chemistry, natural phil
osophy and natural history, but,
above all, he must learn the construc-
ton of his own frame, the means by
which he lives, moves and has his
being. He must understand the ma
ture of all those influences by which
health is broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering
and death may be averted. DIR. john
son further says that nothing con-
tributes so much to the support of
quackery as the present insufficiency
of medical knowledge. Men do not,
he says, easily abandon hope but as
readily put faith in ignorant pretend
ers as drowning men catch at straw.
"The good that men do in this life
lives after them" During the life
time of old DR.. Johnson he invented
what is now known as Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment, a standard fam
lily remedy of surprising merit. This
liniment is both for internal and eX-
ternal use and it is safe to say that nc
single remedy ever discovered has
done so much good as has this one.
1t is inexpensive, ready at a mo-
ments notice night or day and may
be used with absolute confidence in
thethousanda ailments that at
flict humanity. In the cure of Sc
we're cramps or pains in the stomach
or bowels, dysentery, diarhGa, acute
or chronic, this liniment is a sOver'
eign remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhpa. it is certainly worth its
weight in gold. 1t has been known
to cure cases of from ten to tifteer
years standing after the sufferers had
been given up.

The Foolkiller.

The foolkiller sat by a hickory tree
in the luminous light of the moon,
his eyes We're lurid with baleful glee,
and he chanted a simple tune.
And the foolkillers' tresses were as
black as night, and the foolkiller's
voice was strong; and the foolkiller
sung with a weird delight this simple
yet rapturous song:
so, whittier and where is the youth
who goes, in the light of the waning
day, to the riverside where the book
beer flows, and squanders away his
pay?
l sigh for a crack at his swollen
head, and a punch at his bloOdshot
eye.
Oh, whittier and where is the
youth, l said, I'll find him and let
him die?
O, whittier away is the man who
tries to get off a broken speech?
Who'll range from murmurs and
broken signs to a desperate wOltish
screech?
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1887-08-06

Who gropes around for a missing
word, and stammers, and hens and
haws?
o, o will the crack of my club
be heard, as it iattens upon his jaws.
O, show me the path to the lone
some dell, where I'll find an idiot
gay, who twangs a note chestnut on a
bell, whenever a word you say for a
chestnut bell is a FOOLS device, which
none but a fool will use, and I'll
knock such lunatics in a trice clear
out of their high heeled shoes.
O, whittier away is the man who
smiles and grins in the house of
prayer?
For he thinks he's smart, but my
snares and wiles will coax him into
my lair and I'll flatten him on the
wall, and I'll pave the floor of my
lonely camp with his i~ndestructible
gall"
Then the foolkiller leaped to his
feet quite blithe, in the light of the
waning moon, and he drew a finger
along his scythe and chanted his sim
pie tune; and he started off on a
Spanish trot, and sung as he went :
"I'll make it hot in this dismal re-
gion of FOOLS"

A Little Fun at Home.

DO not be afraid Of a little fun at
home, good people. DO not shut up
your house lest the sun should fade
your carpets and your hearts, lest a
laugh should shake down fewof the
musty old cobwebs that are hanging
there. If you want forum your sons,
let them think that all mirth and So
cial enjoyment must be left at the
threshold without when they come
home at night. When once a home
is regarded as only a place to eat,
drink and sleep in, the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where. If they do not find it at their
own hearthstOnes, they will seek it at
other and less profitable places.
Therefore, let the fire burn brightly
in winter, and let the doors and win
dows be cheerfully thrown open in
summer, and make the homestead
delightful with those little arts that
parents so well understand. DO not

A Recipe to be Miserable.

Inter-Ocean.
The best recipe we know, if you
want to be miserable, is to think
about yourself; how much you have
lost, how much you have not made,
and the poor prospects for the future.
A brave man with a soul in him gets
out of such pitiful ruts and laughs
at discouragements, rolls up his
sleeves, whistles and sings, and makes
the best. of life. This earth never
was intended for a paradise, and a
man who rises above his discourage
! ments and keeps his manhood will
be the stronger and better for his
adversely. Many a noble ship has
been saved by throwing overheard its
most valuable cargo, and many a
man is better and more humane after
he has lost his gold.

Golden Days.
John Gladstone, the father of the
present premier of Great Britain,
trained his children to give Il reason
for every opinion they offered. 1t
was in this waythat MI. Wm.E. Glad
stone was early trained todebate. On
one occasion William and his sister
Mary disputed as to where a certain
picture ought to. be hung, An old
Scotch. servant came in with a ladder,
and stood irresolute while the ar
gument progressed; but as Miss Mary
would not yield, William CALAMITY
ceased from speech, though uncon-
WINGED, of course. The servant then
hung up the picture where the young
lady ordered but when he had done
this he crossed the room and ham,
mered a nail in the opposite wall.
He was asked why he did this.
"Aweel, Miss, that will do to hang
the picture on when yell have come
round to Master Willie's opeenion."
The amilygenerally did come around
to Williams opinion, for the resour-
ces Of his tongue-fencing were Won
derful, and his father, who admired
a clever feint as much as a straight
thrust, never failed to encourage him
by saying: Clear, hear! Well
said! Well put, Williew if the
